Archaeological Field Reconnaissance Quakertown Recreation Area 1980
In 1980, an archaeological field reconnaissance was conducted by Dr. Ronald Hicks of Ball State University on the area affected by the proposed improvements to the Quakertown Recreational Area in Liberty Township, Union County, near Dunlapsville, Indiana.

Some of the information in this record has been migrated into tDAR from the National Archaeological Database Reports Module (NADB-R) and updated. Most NADB-R records consist of a...
Archaeological Highway Salvage Investigations in Morgan County, Alabama, OAR Projects Progress Reports 1968-1972 (1969)
The Veterans Curation Program utilizes the standard archival practice of unique naming of collections. The purpose of this practice is to avoid redundant and confusing collection names commonly found with archaeological investigations. Therefore, this collection is referred to as "OAR Projects Progress Reports 1968-1972.” This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folders, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is two (2) linear inches. The progress reports were...
Archaeological Intensive Assessment of Huntington Municipal Airport (12HU1068) 1993
Starting in May 1993, at the request of MSE Corporation, a field reconnaissance of the Huntington Municipal Airport and surrounding area was conducted prior to the planned expansion of the airport and the construction of a new boat ramp access road located approximately one mile east of the airport (Zoll 1993). At this time USACE, Louisville District owned some of the land involved in this investigation. Donald R. Cochran from Ball State University was the principal investigator for this...
An Archaeological Inventory and Evaluation on the Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station, El Paso County, Colorado (2017)
This report presents the results of a Class II archaeological survey at Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station. The study area is defined as the entire CMAFS installation with a total acreage of 568 ac, although one section was relaxed to Class II survey due to its steep and broken terrain, and 290 ac were excluded entirely from survey due to extreme terrain or total disturbance. The study area overall does not contain significant archaeological resources, and these survey results confirm the...
Archaeological Inventory and Reconnaissance of Gunter Air Force Station and Maxwell Air Force Base Montgomery, Alabama (1988)
This report present the results of a literature and records search and field reconnaissance conducted on Gunter Air Force Station and Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery. This research was conducted as a component of preparation of a master plan for each facility. Research and field work conducted at Gunter Air Force Station indicated that no archaeological resources had been previously identified there, and that the base had been overbuilt to the point that it was unlikely that any...
Archaeological Inventory of the California Desert: a Proposed Methodology (1973)
The California Desert includes a considerable quantity of archaeological resources along with its many other values. As the Bureau of Land Management seeks to meet the challenge of managing its desert lands for the common good, it is appropriate that the archaeology of the area be numbered among its considerations. Not only does the BLM have a legal responsibility to protect archaeological remains under Federal law, but archaeology constitutes a public resource in several respects. Understanding...
Archaeological Inventory Survey and Monitoring during Communication Line Installation, Bellows Air Force Station and Marine Corps Training Area-Bellows, Waimanalo, Oahu, Hawai’i (2006)

Dye & Colleagues, Archaeologists, Inc. carried out a subsurface inventory survey along the proposed communication line route within site 50–80–15–4853 and completed test excavations south of the site within MCTAB to search for buried cultural deposits. During installation of the communication line T. S. Dye & Colleagues, Archaeologists, Inc. carried out archaeological monitoring. The primary focus of the archaeological monitoring was on the...
Archaeological Inventory Survey of Six Club Lease Tracts at Thurmond Lake and Two Recreational Areas at Hartwell Lake, Hartwell and Thurmond Lakes Excess Tracts 1989 (1989)
Archaeological inventory survey of eight Government excess tracts in the northeastern piedmont of Georgia resulted in the identification of one temporally non-diagnostic prehistoric (lithic scatter) site with an historic landscape feature.

Archaeological Inventory Survey of the Proposed Dormitory Site, Bellows Air Force Station, Waimanalo, O'ahu (2004)
The primary focus of the project was on the discovery and appropriate treatment of historic properties potentially affected by the dormitory construction. The archaeological inventory survey of the proposed site for dormitory construction yielded secondary deposits of modern cultural material in trenches 1-5. The pattern of the secondary deposits in the trenches indicates that they represent formerly deep swales that ran parallel to the modern beach. Artifactual material indicates that the...
